What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you ready for an exciting role as part of our thriving Performing Arts team, teaching music at Key Stages 3 and 4? This is a superb opportunity for an imaginative and aspirational teacher to join an established, successful and forward-thinking team.
We’re looking for an excellent classroom teacher who wants to have a significant impact on both the music curriculum and the extra-curricular life of the school. It would also be beneficial for the successful candidate to be a competent piano player, although this is not a requirement. The successful candidate must have a passion for performance and a desire to help run existing music clubs as well as develop new clubs based on your skillset and the students’ interests.
We run a vocational course at Key Stage 4, therefore knowledge of the BTEC curriculum and assessment would be an asset. Evidence of successful teaching at GCSE would also be desirable.
The successful candidate will work in a supportive school where students achieve and make sustained progress as a result of our ‘can do’ ethos. If successful, we offer you the opportunity to work with a highly-motivated group of students and colleagues, where your contribution to the music team and the school as a whole, will be valued. Working in a friendly school community, we invite you to join us in our commitment to inspire every student with the skills, resilience, independence and confidence they need to achieve their potential.
What the school offers its staff
As a school, we have an extensive CPD programme to support you in your career. We also provide all our staff with a laptop computer. Excellent learning and teaching is at the heart of all that we do and is supported with a full professional development programme and outstanding induction programme.
We are committed to meeting the needs of our diverse community and aim to have a workforce reflecting this diversity. We are also committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. We have a robust child protection policy and all staff will receive training relevant to their role at induction and throughout employment at the school. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
